IMPROVEMENT IN CENSERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 154,213, dated February 29, 1876; application filed January 15, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Rev. JAMES J. DUNN, of Meadville, in the county of Crawford and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved (Jenser, of which the following is a specification: 7

My invention consists of a wire gauze, or other open or reticulated pocket, for holding the charcoal, with a law p-burner arranged under it for igniting the charcoal more conveniently and maintaining the fire longer than can be done in the close fire-pot of the ordinary censer, in which the fire often dies out before the service is over for want of air, and

considerable time and labor are required to light the coal by a fire or gas jet.

The drawing is a sectional elevation of my improved censer.

A is the fire-pocket of reticulated wire or other open-work material to admit of lighting the fire from below, and allow the necessary supply of air to maintain combustion. B is the wick-tube of a lamp,O, attached to the censer under the fire-pocket by screwing into the screw-threaded tube D in the bottom of the censor-bowl E; and E represents openings in the bowl E to supply air to the lamp REV. JAMES J. DUNN. Witnesses:

Rev. EDWARD J KELLY, BRIDGET E. OKEEFE.
